My First KDM Theme -- testers needed, please

The SRPM is in ~/Dropbox/SRPM/testing/

It is based on and meant to match the BlueMoon plymouth theme.

You don't see it? I opened dropbox, then the SRPM folder and from there I opened the testing folder. I can see it as the next to last item in /home/neal/Dropbox/SRPM/testing.

Seems to be working fine. The only glitch I noticed is that I have a thin light blue border on the left side and top of my screen, but not the right or bottom. Don't know if this is on purpose or not. Other than that nice work.

I'm new at themes, so I must be missing something. I built and installed your kdm theme, then I used EZswitch to select Blue Moon, and I get the correct plymouth theme but it does not change the kdm theme. I thought that I read that if you have a matching theme they both get installed. How do I get the kdm theme installed?

Configure Your Desktop >> System >> Login Manager, under the Theme tab of course.

Thank you, Chomp. I found it and the new theme was there, of course. After I reboot, I'll report back.

Downloaded.
How to install? Archive manager asks for a place of extraction.

You downloaded a source RPM. It is meant to be extracted and built.

Try this:
http://nbrks.com/neal/kdm-theme-BlueMoon-0.1-1pclos2010.i586.rpm

After downloading it, install it with
Code: [Select]
rpm -Uvh kdm-theme-BlueMoon-0.1-1pclos2010.i586.rpm
This must be done as root (su + root password) in a terminal in your downloads directory.

After installation, Use KDE's Configure Your Desktop under > System > Login Manager and look under the Theme tab.

I wasn't seeing that here. Thanks for the info; I will tweak the graphics.

Neal, I'll try it tonight on KDE.

Is there any sense me to try it now on LXDE?

uncleV,
LXDE uses GDM, not KDM, as its login manager. This theme will not work with GDM.
